Have you installed patched kernel along with that iHack installer?

Timwir 12-27-2010 03:22 PM

I installed on the boot CD von Empire EFI only : Myhack RC5 Installer

Again: When using Myhack installer for initial setup, you need to select the legacy kernel, called "Chocolate Kernel" from that installer. AMD can't boot Vanilla Kernel.

In case of doubt RTFM avaible at the projects homepage.

When i installed the Chocolate Kernel the Computer restart everything.

Imkantus 12-29-2010 01:27 PM

This can have various reasons, I don't know what Kernel-Version ist beeing installed by that MyHack package - maybe try this or a Kernel version with fixed FSB detection for your CPU.
Could also be an ACPI related problem - maybe try to boot by passing "cpus=1" flag to Kernel...

Nothing :(

Don't give up yet. You are able to boot into OS X by EmpireEFI, so there must be a way - can you provide a link to the ISO of EmpireEFI you have been using to install OS X, so that I could see what is beeing used to boot the installation system?

In case of doubt, you could start from scratch install Chameleon and copy the hole content of Preboot.dmg to the installation.^^

Well OK, the LegacyBootCD.iso you have posted uses old mach_kernel.test7 made by modbin...

Forget about the myHack installer - I would also recommend you to start from scratch and install an untouched system at this point.

I took the stuff from Preboot.dmg and removed the PS2, Audio, Intel + JMicron Controller + Batterymonitor Kernel Extensions and put everything together for you: http://www.mediafire.com/?3qmzjn65oyw04g6

After the installation of Snow Leopard, copy the Extra folder + mach_kernel.test7 binary directly into the main folder of your Snow Leopard installation.

Then install Chameleon v2 Bootloader manually - you can read about how-to here:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=164809

If your system still doesn't boot without the CD at this point, try cpus=1 bootlflag again, it's default in com.apple.Boot.plist present on your EmpireEFI, but I think you should try booting with all cores first.

Hope this way we can make Snow Leopard booting w/out the CD for you. :)

Chameleon 2 can i use no installer? Im a noob. The files paste in Mac OS X Install Data.

Imkantus 01-05-2011 05:18 PM

Sure you can use prepared installer for the bootloader if you prefer to do so.

But what "Mac OS X Install Data"? You want to boot SL standalone from the HDD after install - won't you?! :confused:

After the installation of Snow Leopard, copy the Extra folder + mach_kernel.test7 binary directly into the main folder of your Snow Leopard installation.

Main folder? Macintosh HD ? or System folder?

Can you help me with Teamviewer? im a noob and my english is bad.

Imkantus 01-06-2011 11:24 PM

It goes to the "Macintosh HD"

For sure I can, I will send you my ICQ contact via PM so you can hit me up, when online. Maybe I can give you a little assistance, as there will be a lot of tasks left to do, after you have the system is bootable (10.6.5, graphics card, etc), but I will be busy during at least the hole next three days, so let's keep this up here as well. :)

btw: What's your main language?

Timwir 01-06-2011 11:45 PM

I speak German. I add you in ICQ Thank you
